The biggest issue I have not studied enough to really grasp the effect of yet is the new Roster size rule of 105. Apparently, the NCAA rule is that a team's roster can only be 105 starting next season.
Right now, there are 117 players on our roster. 35 of them are SR or 5 & 6 yr. players. We have 21 commitments right now for 2025. Doing the math, that only leaves room for 2 players from the portal.
Being Shane does such a great job on the portal, that makes you wonder.
How many players currently on our roster are going to go in the portal? We will never really know, but how many, might/will be, asked to go in the portal?
Before, when a coach had a sub-par player, he could just tell a player that he was no longer on scholarship, they could stay on the scout team, etc. Now they cannot even be on the team.
We do know Shane will want to bring in way more than 2 portal players. We also know, Shane is still trying to flip commitments from other schools. I just do not understand why NCAA is going to limit schools to 105-man roster. I know it somehow all ties in with the NIL court decisions. Maybe they figure with smaller rosters, more players may get some NIL money.
It is going to be really interesting to see what happens between now and Spring practice as far as our roster.
I imagine, all across the country, a lot of players will no longer be College Football Players. It just seems a shame. The NCAA should just leave the scholarship limit but not add a roster limit.
